The enfant terrible Yves Klein (1928 - 1962) attracted considerable attention in the art world, creating an interest that even increased in the wake of his premature death. Having anticipated numerous tendencies such as happenings, performances, Land and Body Art, and aspects of Conceptual Art, Klein’s manifold oeuvre realized within only eight years has continued to exercise a decisive influence until this day. This retrospective shows the major works of each phase: the first color monochrome paintings in orange, yellow, green, red, black or white; the famous blue monochromes and the sponge reliefs and sculptures; the much debated anthropometries, in which he employed female models as "living brushes;" the "monogolds;" and his final experiments with fire and elements of nature. More than one hundred works have been assembled from international museums like the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Fondación del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, and from numerous private collections.
